Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., on Newmax said she hasn’t looked at the Tennessee legislation passed last week that would allow teachers and other school members to carry concealed handguns on school grounds, but that all families want to make certain that children are safe in school.

“We all want that,” she said on “National Report” Thursday.

“I’m not a member of the Tennessee State Senate,” she said. “I haven’t seen the bill or that specific legislation. What I have focused on for the last several years is my Safe Schools Act, which would allow schools the ability to harden; it would be grants for schools so that they can harden their facilities, put ballistic film on doors, have cameras, have people to watch those cameras, fencing around playgrounds, one-touch locks, because this is something that every school should be able to do, whether it’s public or private, and know that the children that are in that building are going to be safe.”
